When you're a hammer... All your problems look like nails.

About Me

I have a million things to do. Most of them involve buying over priced clothing off of ebay, cleaning my collection of New Balance 574's, and reading comics.

My Interests

I love these things...

    Improv Comedy Sketch Comedy Art Pop Culture Movies Film Fashion Shoes from New Balance Working Spaceships Graphic Novels Warhammer 40k Mentally preparing myself for the Apocolypse

I'd like to meet:

Stephen Colbert for sure... But one time I was at a job interview and they asked me "If I could take anyone out to dinner living or dead, who would it be and where would I take them?" I said "I would probably take Jesus to IN N OUT burger." They laughed, and said "Why?" I said "Because It would be an awesome story. That's why."

Music:

This is a fun one... I like...

    Gorillaz DJ Shadow Portishead Sneaker Pimps Beck Daft Punk Royksopp The Streets Prodigy Zero 7 Massive Attack
Basically a huge fan of the Trip-Hop era. I also like tons of rock and industrial.
    Spacehog Chemical Brothers Audioslave Tool A Perfect Circle OK GO Rammstein
I really love some of the more mellow stuff too. Here are a couple of my favorites.
    Ben Folds Groove Armada Postal Service Scissor Sisters David Bowie Bob Marley

Movies:

I have not yet made my official top ten yet... But I am sure it would include the Dark Knight, Fifth Element, and the Big Lebowski.

Television:

I love the Colbert Report the most... But ever since I got an HDTV, I pretty much just watch Discovery HD Theatre.

    Venture Brothers Naruto (JP) Aqua Teen Hunger Force Family Guy Futurama Robot Chicken Design Star The Colbert Report The Dailey Show Reality Bites Back Heroes The Office (US) Lost The Riches Da Ali G Show Little Britain Monty Python Anything Red Dwarf Black Adder Series Extras The Office (UK)

Books:

I really love Science-Fiction and Fantasy. One of my favorite sub genres to read is Cyberpunk. Chewing through a dark, gritty novel filled with technology and less than perfect characters seems to click for me. Genres I read include, but are not limited to...

    The Diamond Age Snow Crash Enders Game Orcs: Omnibus Edition Lord of the Rings Trilogy Starship Troopers Nueromancer The Adventures of the Stainless Steel Rat The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
One of these days I will make a comprehensive list of all the graphic novels I own and love... But right now, too many to list...

Heroes:

Stephen Colbert & Wolverine. I AM SO NOT JOKING.

I haven't written shit in like... a year!?

It's kinda funny how fast time can sort of blow right by you. I (along with many others, I am sure) turned the volume down on the myspace bug just a bit. You can really only browse the same profiles ...
